Tell you what, lets have a mars mixer-- you bring snaggle-toothed, shine-drinking, ridge-runners from the Ozarks, and I'll bring a batch of low common sense yuppies who test well and are dying to find something "spiritual" or "mystical" to make themselves more interesting at parties. We should be able to cover 26% with that crowd.

friends

i have been wondering for a while now:are jw's recognized as such by their public baptism or by .

the service report they turn in every month?.

when i was studying,i was constantly told that to become a jehovah's witness,one had to make a. public declaration by getting baptized.2 1/2 yrs after i was baptized,i was stripped of all my privileges.

i had a 82yr sick "anointed" sister call one day in tears -she hit 6months of no time and was so hurt that she would be considered inactive and may not be included in the yearly report i knew at that point that the time arrangement was bad

geez JT, not much of a company man. You should have cajoled her into getting her lazy, unproductive, "sick-yeah right", ass out of bed for one hour, to be tagged onto that 6th month. I mean come on! One hour in 6 months? Does she love Jehovah or not? Does she want to be a Queen and priestess, or not?

I don't know, JT, I think you have set up a pattern of co-dependance with this woman. She'll be calling you from her death bed, willing to cry, but not willing to lift her oxygen mask and preach to a nurse!

Kids these days.

Why did Jesus not start his ministry till 30?

by LadyBug in

jw
friends

i have often wondered this.

his sole purpose in coming to earth was to make disciples and the sacrifice.

he knew this.. so why did he wait till 30 yrs of age to dedicate himself to his father?

Francoise, I like the way you write. Fiction. I worry a bit the way you present what Jesus and God did or didn't do as a reality you seem to know.

My first reaction to your interesting thoughts, was "whole cloth". But of course, it isn't quite whole cloth, it came from the Bible. A book which you and I seem to agree is 95%....uhmm...well, made up. You Know*, whole cloth.

I guess I am left wondering why you feel a universal truth about God is woven into 5% of a book that is totally man-made manipulations?

*pun intended

Demonic sex

by philo in

i'm not being a pervert, really.

i was just wondering whether there was a psychological explanation for why people (women, i think) experience sex, when there's nobody physically there.. there's a lot made of this in dubdom, so i'm thnking there couldbe a connection with the dub 'culture'.. just curious.. philo (honestly, but still a male)

Did I ever tell you guys about my penile reductive surgery?

Couldn't have been much, unless an "inny" was what you were after.

Has anyone heard of this new breast enlargement method? Somehow it seems more natural, although it is certainly not a "natural" proceedure. It something like a vacume mold worn nightly for something like 10 weeks. Odd and "snake oil" as it may sound, evidently it works. The cool thing is that the woman does grow new tissue, so they are real.

I can hear Mommy's complaint now, however, "Sixo, how is that going to affect my special purpose, if I have to wear this cumbersome device 10 hours per night for 10 weeks. " Not too worry, little sister , check this out:

Six- - as wise (an ass) as Solomon ever was.

Lets use Teejay as an example, I was worried he may have felt a bit left out. Before:

Thanks teejay, and, nice tits! Maybe not as dramatic as silicon, but pretty damn impressive considering it is teejay's own body growing those fun bags!

If Witnesses Had To Be Honest in F.S.

witness: hi.

witness: right.

witness: oh yes.

"Actually Joel, if you believe the bible story, Jehovah spoke to Noah directly and commanded him to tell everyone about a coming flood...."

Wow. the above is how I started out to reply to Joel. I thought I ought to check the bible to see exactly how that was expressed. I can't find it. I don't see any reference to God having Noah preach or warn the rest of humanity.

I have a definate impression from growing up as a witness, that we were taught that Noah "preached" and "warned" the entire population of humans living then that they were toast if they did not repent.

Did I make this all up?

Did my childs' mind fill in the gaps left by the Flood account, and try to reconcile it with the inferences the Society makes between the Flood and our day?

Any one remember it the same as me?

Question for any elder/recent ex-elder

by OrangeBlossom in

jw
friends

the elders keep dropping by every couple of saturday's after bookstudy to check on us and try to encourage us back to meetings.

it has worked out that my husband has been gone when they visit so they keep coming back hoping to catch him sometime.

anyway, i told my hubby that we should at least go to the meetings once a week to keep them off our trail, which i went this past thursday night and wouldn't you know it the one elder approached me and mentioned that they still want to sit down with us and go over an article on meeting attendance.

Just tell em' about what you told us.

Make them feel bad about themselves, bad about "their" congregation.

Make them think (and rightly so) that they have discouraged you right out of the "truth" (or at least discouraged you out of being able to associate).

Faced with their own hypocracy and lack of goodness, most will back off, not wanting to confront the truth about themselves. Even if they persist, again, just tell them that you are not up for returning to "that environment" right now. What could be more true? Believe me, they understand that it isn't a pleasant environment. They just think God wants them to suffer in it, lol.

You could do this to their face, or in a letter. You might mention how you went to a meeting recently, plan to try and go to more when you have the strength, etc., but you just aren't up for one of "those" meetings. Deep down, they understand.

After that, I'll bet it will be much simpler to just fade away.
